Description
Classic, Gibson Custom appointments adorn this Limited-Edition CS-356 model guitar. It features a carved solid maple top with chambered solid mahogany back and sides. The result is deep archtop tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well-balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant, amplified by a pair of singing ‘57 Classic humbuckers. In both beauty and brawn, the Gibson Custom CS-356 guitar reigns supreme.

    What does this guitar weigh?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Even the same model can vary up to 1.5 lbs. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 10 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be about 8.5 lbs
